Fractional Chief Operating Officer

In some instances, a Startup or Early-Stage business has more demanding needs in key leadership areas of their current development to get or keep things moving forward. Hiring a full-time C-suite executive can be a significant cost, owing to their experience and history in such a role. A cost-effective alternative is the hiring of a fractional leader to fill a role either temporarily or intermittently.

Fractional is not just any part-time role, nor is it a freelancer, consultant, advisor, or interim position. This chart will help differentiate a fractional role from these other leadership roles.
